太子瑞應本起經 1.40

1.40

「菩薩答曰：『汝宿有福，受得天身，不惟無常，而作妖媚，形體雖好，而心不端。譬如畫瓶中盛臭毒，將以自壞。有何等奇，福難久居，婬惡不善，自亡其本。死即當墮三惡道中，受鳥獸形，欲脫致難。汝輩亂人正意，非清淨種，革囊盛屎而來，何為？去！吾不用汝。』其三玉女，化成老母，不能自復。魔王益忿，更召諸鬼神，合得一億八千萬眾，皆使變為師子熊羆、虎兕象龍牛馬、犬豕猴猨之形，不可稱言。虫頭人體，蚖蛇之身，黿龜之首而六目，或一頸而多頭，齒牙爪距，擔山吐火，雷電四繞，擭持戈矛。菩薩慈心，不驚不怖，一毛不動，光顏益好。鬼兵退散，不能得近。魔王自前，與佛相難詰，其辭曰：

You bewilder people's right intentions; you are not of a pure lineage. You come as leather bags filled with excrement—for what purpose? Begone! I have no use for you.' The three jade maidens were transformed into old crones, unable to restore themselves. The Demon King grew even more furious and summoned all the ghosts and spirits, gathering a host of one hundred and eighty million, transforming them all into the shapes of lions, brown and black bears, tigers, wild bovines, elephants, dragons, oxen, horses, dogs, swine, and monkeys beyond reckoning; some with insect heads and human bodies, viper bodies, or turtle heads with six eyes; some with one neck and many heads, sharp teeth and claws, carrying mountains and spitting fire, with thunder and lightning swirling about, wielding halberds and spears. With a mind of loving-kindness, the bodhisattva was neither frightened nor terrified; not a single hair of his stirred, and the radiant countenance grew ever more majestic. The demon armies retreated and scattered, unable to draw near. The Demon King himself came forward to cross-examine and challenge the Buddha, saying:
